[Equest-users] Modeling a smaller time span

[Brian Fountain]

Matthew,

You can model smaller time periods than 1 year -- I believe 1 day is the 
shortest.  You can also create hourly reports which will show you what 
is happening on an hourly basis.

In the detailed interface -

On the "Project & Site" Tab under Simulation Options you can specify a 
simulation period other than "Entire Year" by entering a start and end date.

To create hourly reports you first create an hourly report block which 
defines what variables you wish to report -- 1 block for each variable 
type.  You then assign all applicable report blocks to the hourly 
report.  Note that you can also define an hourly report schedule to 
define what period the annual report is generated for.  By default it is 
generated for the whole year but you could specify a single day or hour 
by refining the hourly report schedule.

I hope this will give you what you require.
